ADEA CEO Susan Davidson and Education Project Manager Donna Wellins led the session, Enhancing Diabetes Education through Innovative VET Microcredentials, showcasing flexible, learner-centred microcredentials designed to upskill the generalist healthcare workforce in diabetes care.

Using a co-design approach, workshops and focus groups identified key knowledge gaps, and a pilot with healthcare students confirmed the microcredentials’ effectiveness in improving knowledge, confidence, and care delivery.
With the support of a Victorian government grant, the development of these microcredentials was a collaborative effort with Educonomy, Chisholm Institute, Deakin University, and industry stakeholders.
Collaboration with the TAFE sector will support the widespread adoption of these microcredentials, further enhancing diabetes care in diverse settings.

Showcasing both scholarly and applied research from within vocational education, the conference theme Impetus and Impact: Research that Challenges and Shapes VET Policy and Practice highlights its role as a premier platform for exploring innovations and advancing VET practice.
